Love that Rescues

On the first Sunday in Lent, the book of Deuteronomy teaches us how to remember and respond to God's covenantal love. As Christians, we now live in the Promised Land of Christ Jesus, who has rescued us through his divine grace. As we receive his blessings, we return in love by offering God the first fruits of our lives. This act of gratitude and generosity marks the beginning of our Lenten journey.
